Nitrogen trioxide (N2O3) is a blue, unstable compound that exists in equilibrium with nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and nitric oxide (NO). It is synthesized by reacting nitric oxide with nitrogen dioxide at low temperatures. N2O3 is a powerful oxidizing agent and can decompose explosively. It is considered a significant contributor to acid rain and is implicated in respiratory problems. It is studied primarily for its role in atmospheric chemistry and its effects on human health and the environment.'
